Introduction Large-scale machine learning workloads: training, fine-tuning, and inference run on clusters of hundreds to thousands of GPU instances for days or weeks at a stretch. Keeping operational visibility across a fleet of this size is a constant challenge: hardware health events, node lifecycle transitions, capacity fluctuations, and workload-level issues appear in the event stream around […]

“A pull request comes back with a single comment: “This doesn’t follow our circuit breaker pattern. Check the Architectural Decision Record .”  You know the architecture decision record exists somewhere. You open your team’s wiki, search “circuit breaker,” scroll past six irrelevant results, find the document, read through it, switch back to your editor, and fix the […]

This post is co-written with Govind Menon, Head of MCP Product at ServiceNow. Introduction Enterprise teams managing applications on AWS often rely on ServiceNow as their IT service management (ITSM) system for incident tracking, change management, and configuration management. When incidents occur, engineers must context-switch between AWS, third party observability tools and ServiceNow, manually correlating […]

Walk through a complete CloudFormation development cycle – authoring, validation, deployment, and troubleshooting – without leaving your AI assistant, using the AWS IaC MCP Server.

Introduction In a recent post, my colleague Micah Walter introduced AWS Transform – continuous modernization in public preview. Today, this capability is generally available in regions supported for AWS Transform . Development velocity continues to increase. But velocity without maintenance accumulates technical debt at speed. The faster software scales, the faster technical debt compounds. At […]

This post was co-authored by Ayelet Harcz (Product Manager), Hen Perez (CTO Architect), and Shani Gafni (Product Manager) at Wiz. When an on-call engineer receives an alert at 2 AM, a CPU spike, a latency anomaly, or an unexpected API error, the first question is whether this is an operational issue or a security incident. […]

Introduction Automated incident remediation – turning investigation findings into deployed fixes without manual toil – is the next frontier for operations teams running distributed workloads on AWS. Today, when an incident fires at 2 AM, the on-call engineer must correlate telemetry across Amazon CloudWatch, deployment pipelines, and application logs, then manually write and deploy a […]

AWS CloudFormation helps you model and provision cloud infrastructure as code using JSON or YAML templates, or through tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) and AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). Whether you create stacks directly, use change sets for preview, or deploy through CI/CD pipelines and AI agents, the speed of your deployment […]

AWS CloudFormation helps you model and provision cloud infrastructure as code using JSON or YAML templates, or through tools like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). Whether you create stacks directly, use change sets for preview, or deploy through CI/CD pipelines and AI agents, fast feedback on template errors is critical to development velocity. Previously, […]
